FEAR….it stomps on our dreams. It’s what stops us most from living the life we have imagined for ourselves. It’s inevitable and is not something to eliminate. That feeling that fear conjures up will always be present. It’s what we do regardless of the fear that helps build character. Taking action despite of fear is always a choice. Fear will often cause us to react in undesirable ways and prevents us from moving forward. Let your dreams be bigger than the avoidance of what you think might happen if things go wrong. Don’t spend your life wondering what if…

Take hold of your fear and use it to your advantage instead of your enemy. Do this by first recognizing fear in its initial stages. Become aware that something is preventing you from taking the next step. Then start to visualize the success you could potentially have if you took that step. After visualizing, make it happen!!! Schedule when you can start to take the steps that fear has been holding you back from and start taking them NOW! Realize the power of your thoughts and use them to your advantage. You are only afraid of something because you have convinced yourself you are. Belief in yourself and your capabilities is the greatest weapon against fear and the key to moving towards your dreams.
